bC lOGlOE ldS DbCI
issued by the superintendent of public in
81 rnction:
Under the legislative provisions madu
for payment of the cogpons issued under
the authority of the department of edu,
cation, there are now registered warrants
on coupon No. l, 1887 8, amounting to
about $425,OOO.
1t is not probable that oil of these
warrants will be paid before February /,
1888. They will be paid in the order of
registration by the treasurer, beginning
about November 90. The delay in the
payment of these warrants is deplorable,
but it is unavoidable. 1t is not the fault
of the comptroller or of the treasurer.
Although there is more than
a $1,000,000 in the state treasury,
the state treasurer would be
guilty of penal offense if he paid out
any of the money on warrants drawn
against the available school fund. The
board of education has no power to
borrow money, or take any steps which
would relieve the present deplorable de.
lay in the payment of these overdue
claims against the school fund. The state
superintendent has made every possible
effort to remedy this unfortunate state of
affairs, but is absolutely powerless in the
matter. This state of affairs has existed
for several years. It results indirectly
from the excessive appOrtionment made
two years age. About 100000 of the
available fund for 1869 was used in
paying off the excess of the appor!ion-
ment over the receipts for the year
1856. The apportionment for 1886 81
was put at S4.75 per capita, or 40 cents
less than that for 1866. But the large
deficiency from the preceding year had
to be made up from the available fund for
this year, and, consequently, the fund
for 1869 fell short about 100000.
This deficiency has not yet been entirely
paid off. 1t is not for this reason that the
board of education has been compelled to
lower the appointment for 1878 to $3.50
per capita. Doubtless the board of edu-
cation was honest, when it placed the ap-
portionment two years ago at $500, but
that error in calculation, amounting to at
least 100000, has been source of en-
barassment TO the school fund ever since.
This embarrassment has been most
keenly felt in some of the best counties in
the state-in counties which are fully
using their funds to MAINTAIN the schools
il the condition of highest possible
efficiency,
believe that this state of affairs has
been cured, so far as it Is Do5sibls, by the

The Most Fovored Nso,.,.,

OF all classes OF musicians the singer Is the
most favored, and the mortal who is gifted
with fine voice is a luckier individual than
the one who possesses the higher faculties of
intelligence. The composer who has labored
for months. perhaps years, to complete an
opera is not paid as much for his whole work
as the prima donna wlo sings the principal
role during single representation. Rossini,
for example, received only $1,000 for the
opera of the Barber of Seville" while the
prima donas receive often fabulous sums for
